Really interesting. I wonder if this is part of the reason I haven't seen the Tylenol brand on the shelf since it was recalled like a year ago? I absolutely agree in putting the dosing on the packages, I think its ridiculous to have to ask your doctor for a chart.
Re: Tylenol Article - not pain relief for infants
I don't really believe in giving meds unless its REALLLLLLLLY needed. D3 has never had any Tylenol or generic tylenol at all. I've only given him generic motrin a handful of times because lets face it, 2 yr molars are MISERABLE.
Like that article stated, fevers help the body.
I think Jocelyn survived on Motrin while teething, she calls it "mo mo" and asks for it!! Thankfully she has only had a fever once, but we seriously could not have lived w/out some medication while teething!
DD is a completely miserable teether and you can totally see a difference in her personality if we didn't give her some motrin.
